Kickstarter is a weird place. Regular people can use it to get their dumb ideas off the ground like a sex doll that vibrates or a phone charger that is an arm less male mannequin with a retractable butt plug. Only one of those exists. But famous people can use it as well even though they probably don't need to.

Bill Gates - yes, the richest man in the world Bill Gates - has a Kickstarter that will convert his CDs to MP3s. Just because he's a rich man doesn't mean he can do everything with his money. Soemtimes, even the best of us need help.
